A fabulous end to a busy week

My week started out just like any other. No big expectations from work- but my first FIT test on Thursday. I went ahead and requested the day off from work to study.

Then I showed up to work Wednesday. The power was not working. It was first expected to come on at 9am, then 12pm, then 4:30, and finally at midnight. Unfortunately we run payroll on Wednesday. This means that everyone left for the day except for me. Our payroll support crew at Corporate office was holding out for the slight chance that the electricity would come back on early. Have you ever sat at your desk with a flashlight and tried to entertain yourself? I actually got about 3 hours of studying in (with the sound of UPC and fire alarm beeping from all around). 5pm finally came, no electricity, and I finally got to go home.

It was a good thing I did get some studying done because I didn't get to take my Thursday off. I was at work processing payroll. Nevertheless, my test went okay. I did wake up Thursday night realizing that I had computed a tax calculation all wrong. I hate that!

So, then came Saturday. The kids are here which always makes things very enjoyable. We started out the day with an early morning soccer game. We then found a bmx motorcross arena in DeSoto. We plan to go there one evening soon and watch the race. It's just like the XGames!

After lunch at Panera, we arrived home and the kids were playing out front. Out of nowhere, kid #1 (who has made it very clear that she has no interest in riding a bike nor will she partake in any coaching) jumped on her little brother's bike and took off like a pro! It was the first time she's been able to balance, peddle, turn, stop. All of it- just like that! She was in just as much shock as we were! So of course we had to call her mom and grandma too. =0)

They took a little dip in the pool (freezing)! And then we headed back out on the bikes with kid #2 in tow. We had a great afternoon at the science center and to the park. We came home and made pizzas (have I mentioned that my husband is the best cook in the world?). Now my darling has taken his daughter on a date to Starbucks and I am here with my glass of wine.

A great ending to a hectic week!
